If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.

I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas.
When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment.
People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.

There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area.
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area. Three places to recommend: the Jade Museum, the Post Office Museum and Lankester Botanical Garden on the road to Paraiso. The Jade Museum is a revelation - it is in a new building and has a wonderful exhibition about the Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Central America. Don't be put off by its title - it is not a museum of dusty cabinets full of jade objects. Just to the right of the entrance to the Central Post Office is a museum with displays of various themes - space, calypso, biodiversity - illustrated with stamps from all over the world. The Lankester Gardens is a gem. It's a centre for the study of orchids so visit at the right time of year, e.g. March, when many are in flower. The gardens are beautifully laid out and very well cared for.

Great city.
Great city. Nice and friendly people with plenty of places to visit, especially their natural parks. Food is good, and the water is safe to drink in the city. Although the locals warned me to be cautious but I felt safe.

We were in San Jose for 2 days; meeting a group coming in from the USA to walk The Camino de Costa Rica so met our outfitter and guide. We visited the Jade Museum and would have gone to the Gold Museum if we had time. We did a long walk in the city to visit a famous hotel ( Grano de Oro). It's a busy city during the day and we were warned not to walk alone at night.
The hospitality was excellent! The staff were super caring, accommodating, and informative. Breakfast was great. The entire facility was immaculate. The pool area was beautiful. It was short taxi or UBER ride to the downtown market and walking distance to other shops, restaurants, and casino. The entire hotel was charming. Staff provided umbrellas during the rains and often met us at the security gate to assist us when we returned. They always went above and beyond to provide the kindest service.
The night was confortable as well as the uncomplicated check in. For all sorts of questions about San Jose and travaling around Central America
we could talk to the very friendly English speaking host of the In The Wind Hostel and also to other travalers and guests in the lovely atrium garden while enjoying the amazing pancake breakfast. In all it´s an ideal and safe place to start your jurny in San Jose or even in Costa Rica, if your not looking for some luxary hotel.
Hotel Aranjuez is located in a very nice area, some 15mins (safe) walking distance north of Plaza de Democracia.
It has a jungle like garden in the backyard with flying birds and squirrels running around. Breakfast is also served there (the best we had in 3 weeks in Costa Rica) so you can already experience some "wild life" while being in the capital city. Rooms were very clean and quite spacious. Staff was really nice and helpfull.
Lovely stylish hotel in a perfect location in downtown San Jose. Excellent restaurant, fabulously comfortable beds, spacious rooms, helpful staff. Nothing to dislike except that I arrived at the moment a pandemic lockdown had begun, so everything else was closed. I was glad that I had such a pleasing place to stay—a large bright room with great city views—before leaving the next day for other regions.
The hotel is close to San Jose Central Market, supermarkets and stores. There is a Soda right around the corner, and it seems secure to walk around the area. The manager gives you a pair of keys for the main entrance and the bedroom. There is enough space in the lounge/reception to store your luggage while you wait to check-in. It seems to be a secure building.
¡Wow! YES! Every Day & All Day. Casa De~Leo. "HOTEL del Paseo" .5th Floor Penthouse with a view. The rooms are very clean and the staff BEYOND accomodating. One of the best places I have stayed, in Costa Rica....Coming or going ..You will be safe and all of your needs met here. A true Gem in San Jose/ Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
The hotel is a convenient and affordable option for a short stay in San Jose. We stayed for one night after arriving in costa rica. We really liked the breakfast. You can opt for continental (pancakes) or costa rican (gallo pinto) and the coffee was great. The staff was very friendly and speaks good English.
The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was very good (bread, jams, juice, fruit, and eggs with a slice of tomato) and plentiful. The location is great for exploring downtown San Jose, walking distance to almost everything. The owner even arranges affordable transportation to/from the airport.
I can’t say enough good things about this hotel! The hospitality was absolutely amazing - the concierges, parking attendant, housekeepers, and restaurant staff were so kind and helpful. Great location, price, and breakfast. I would 100% recommend staying here if you’re traveling to the San Jose area!
Cute hotel in a heritage building just outside the central district of San Jose. Super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, great location. The cafe/breakfast area is beautiful and there is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel. Great option for a night or two in San Jose!
Aida, is always available, helpful and welcoming. With pets pottering around and Aida practising the piano in the afternoons, the place feels wonderfully homely. Even though downtown San Jose is on your doorstep, the location is quiet. The hotel is very clean and great value.
The place is well disposed for solo traveler: locker, box to store items in the bed, bathroom to hang your clothes and items, … Clean and facility on top. There is also a nice rooftop space.
Also the neighborhood seems much better than the rest of downtown San Jose.
Location for this hotel is great. It's in the heart of Barrio Escalante which is the best area in San Jose. it's got many great restaurants and shops and easy, safe walking areas. It's a very basic hotel, but the price reflects that.
The location of the hotel is great, close to downtown and there are many nice restaurants within walking distance. The staff there are friendly, the decorations of the public areas are unique, definitely has its own personality.
Location is perfect for san jose, within walking distance to downtown. We were surprised when the airport transfer (arranged brilliantly by the hotel), got to Park Inn so quickly.
Beds and rooms really comfortable
Hotel location is excellent. Beautiful park opposite and walkable to Downtown San Jose. Buffet breakfast with good variety to suit everyone. Two large comfortable beds.
This hotel is a simple, safe, clean, cheap and very friendly place to stay in San Jose. It's in a very calm neighborhood and a 10 minute walk from downtown.
